I have a main mail machine that serves as our smart mailer and a couple of other semi-smart machines that can pass mail to each other and to the main mailhost. The rest of the nodes basically just send everything to a smart or semi-smart machine. All the machines are SUN 3/XXXs, some running 3.5 and some running 4.0.1. Anyway, when anyone on the local network sends mail to a user that is aliased to one of the semi-smart hosts, the mail arrives with the "To:" header written incorrectly. It should read (I think) @, or possibly just , but it ends up as @eds.com (eds.com being the designation for the main mailhost). What bugs me is that I can't seem to track down where the header is being switched from to @eds.com. When I send to @ it is written correctly. I've run it through sendmail using address test mode and everything is fine. I run it through using -d21.12 and it looks fine. I even killed the sendmail demon on the semi-smart host and checked the file in /usr/spool/mqueue and it looks okay. I'm using sendmail 4.1 and the configuration file built by smail 2.5 (and apparently delivered with SUN OS4.0.1). Am I overlooking something? Any ideas on how to track down what node or what ruleset is rewriting it? My understanding is that the To: header is the result of R3, user portion of R0, R2, D, R4. Any help would be appreciated. -- Ted Roberts | My opinions are not necessarily those EDS Technical Systems Development | of my employer. Does that mean I'm roberts@eds.com | wrong?
